OT:forum software trouble ahead?

[zonker]

just now, i was going through about 4 threads to catch up on the latest replies. on each one, when i hit the red rectangle(to read the newest replies), i'd get a rather long string of characters but only briefly. it's too quick to make out or i'd post it.

then after that, everyone's equipment list shows in very bold type.

anyone else seeing this?

hope it's not something else that needs fixin'!

eta: my own equipment shows in a normal font size, as i just looked.

Not me.

But you are special.

I hope this is a one off problem.
I was just talking to Carolyn today that so far things appear to be normal for a change and I haven't had any problems since the reboot Friday evening.

mamma always said i was special. let's hope it's just a glitch and goes not further.

. . . a rather long string of characters . . .

As I understand it, I believe this forum has been filled with those for many, many years.

"Characters" how true.

Actually YES. But, it doesn't seem to really cause any functionality issues (probably just jinx'd myself lol)

What does this cryptic stuff mean at the top, I have no idea lol.

Is this what you saw zonker?

You are not so lucky, Lucky7. Your PC is infected by souls who have been denied entry into both heaven and hell.

I have seen that line(s) twice this morning but it was very brief. Blink my eyes and it's gone kind of brief. I couldn't get a screen shot at all. No time.
Doesn't seem to affect anything else and I haven't had the font size issues that Zonker had.

Not sure what is going on but likely a little hiccup or glitch in the forum software.
Should it persist we need to get better images (like mine had 6 lines of coding instead of just the one line) and get it reported to IT.

[Pugsy]

Yep that what I have seen but sometimes more than 2 lines.
And I don't see it every time...so far this morning just the 2 times.

Probably should alert Carolyn if CG is seeing this as well.
I will go do that now.

Time to change screen handle I reckon.

[Pugsy]

IT has been notified....but everyone still post in this thread if you are seeing that weird coding thing so that we can have an idea just how big of a problem it is...or isn't.
I still have only seen it twice myself.

[carolyngoodman]

Howdy all!

IT just updated. Should be fixed. Please post if still occurring.
